Siaram Singh: The Hero of Bhagalpur is a life story of a political leader and freedom fighter belonging to the district of Bhagalpur, Bihar, which was one of the important centres of significant revolutionary activities during the freedom struggle. Since his school days, Singh had an outgoing personality, and it appears an active role in the national movement was cut out for him. A close associate of Jayaprakash Narayan, Shri Krishna Singh and other distinguished freedom fighters, he had a firm belief in the power of armed rebellion and guerrilla warfare, which soon turned him into a fearsome figure against the British Raj. The book also specifically mentions how he founded Siaram Dal, a politically active group during the Quit India Movement, thus leaving a notable legacy of his own. This book by a young researcher also brings to light Singh's socio-political contributions in the post-independence era, especially in the state of Bihar.
